Cool GReddy strut bar installed--Thanks Fluid Motorsports!

My engine bay now looks complete, thanks to fluid motorsports. Pics suck, but you get the point.

Looks good. I would have gone with a Carbon fiber strut bar. Nonetheless, good stuff.

I was originally, but it would've looked out of place imo. I wanted to stick with the blue/polished metal under the hood

Indeed it does look great and keeping with the blue/polished metal was perfect. It adds a sense of style with simplicity. I did the same with front and rear Beatrush strut bars. The mounts are bronze/gold so I kept with that theme.

Man, that looks great. I've sort of started to go with blue accents too, I may get the same strut bar someday. I really need to see your car again, especially now that you've gone turbo! By the way, Carlos now has the Esmeril kit...... crazy!

No way! Did he sell his greddy kit? What made him do that?

I have not been able to test it yet....I am still waiting on a map from MM...
I can drive it, but I don't go into boost......good thing this car is not my daily driver anymore.

Yeah, I think he just wanted more power or something. He barely had the Greddy kit on there for long. I think he said when he gets done he should have 360-370 at the wheels.... that's just crazy, but I want it
I wish I had your midpipe, I put my RB pipe on last night, it's not super loud, but it's almost a little too ricey sounding. Maybe I just need to get used to it. Now I need the Cobb AP to help with the air-to-fuel... it smells a little

it can't be as ricey as my agency power exhaust with their midpipe, that was screaming civic with huge fart can plus a side of bumble bees.

is yours raspy at certain rpms?

the mazsport midpipe sounds fantastic, very deep no rasp. if you go for that option it is expensive and building/shipping takes around 3 months, as I'm sure you've heard.

Yeah, I like the Mazsport pipe a lot, just not sure about the price and the wait. I've been hearing from more than one person that they take forever to ship stuff. I have a solution! You could just give me yours!
